The band, who launched their own Phonics beer in conjunction with Brains Brewery back in January, played a half hour set set at the city centre Brains pub wowing a crowd of around 150 fans, who couldn’t believe they were witnessing Stereophonics up close and personal in such a small venue.

Playing a set packed with hits such as Local Boy In The Photograph and Have A Nice Day, they closed their show to rapturous applause with their number one single Dakota, Kelly telling the crowd: “Thanks for coming along. We’d love to stay and drink with you all night, but we’ll see you all tomorrow.”

Stereophonics play a secret gig at the Yard pub in Cardiff

Of the collaboration with Brains and their own beer, described as a “vibrant” pale ale with “complex” citrus, fruit and floral hop character, Kelly, speaking to us in January at the launch of their own brew, said: “It was a no-brainer.

“We played around with a few names and slogans. We were in the middle of a tour so we could only dip in and out.

“We were flattered when Brains asked us. I remember when we used to go to Cardiff and when you got off the bus you could notice the smell of the brewery.
